In my opinion, the middle and lower classes don't vote enough, and therein lies the crux of complicity. If it were somehow required that you had to bring 8 other people with you to vote, if you knew of them - i.e. make it a 'thought-crime' - and knew they were openly stating that they were not going to vote - then it'd get fixed right up.
i.e. a voters bounty for registered, un-voters.
I suppose there are huge flaws in this, but I seriously think it'd be fun for a lot of people if there were suddenly 'vote sheriffs' out there, making sure that people exercised their right to apply power to the politics. People always deserve the whips and bonds they freely choose, when done in freedom. If todays democracy is merely the lesser evil, then a lesser evil even still is total democracy.
At least, I favour organized means of encouraging every 18+ person, citizen, to vote. Voting is meant to solve problems created by incumbent possessors of force, who get too used to their power.
(Note: I also do believe in the right to not vote - i.e. as protest over 'the system', but in the immediate reality of our world today, we need more people actually voting to support their point of view than just those who feel the need to express their point of view. Voting is existence.
